Situation

This highly appealing home occupies an extremely peaceful, private and sheltered wooded setting on the outskirts of the rural settlement of Coryton, in the picturesque Lyd Valley, a short distance from the highly desirable Dartmoor village of Lydford. The area is well-known for its quiet and unspoilt nature, with various woodland walks and trails in close proximity, including Lew Wood, Burley woods, Lydford Forest and Lydford Gorge, in addition to the wide expanse of Dartmoor National Park 2.5 miles to the east. Lydford is an historic village offering two highly rated pubs, an Ofsted “Good”-rated primary school, a village hall, a popular farm shop and the Granite Trail cycleway, and also boasts the National Trust-owned Lydford Gorge and its famous White Lady waterfall. The village is almost equidistant between the thriving market towns of Tavistock and Okehampton (and an hourly bus service between the two runs through the village), which, collectively, offer a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including Tavistock's sought-after independent school, Mount Kelly. The A30 is within 6 miles, and Exeter, around 27 miles further on, offers rail and motorway connections to London and beyond, plus an international airport.

Description

Recently constructed by our clients and signed off in the summer of 2026, this magnificent, wonderfully bright and highly energy-efficient home is beautifully finished in a tasteful country-chic style, combining high-quality fixtures and fittings with contemporary character elements. The house has achieved an exceptional, a-rated EPC (scoring 99 overall), notably through the provision of photovoltaic panels, battery storage, an air-source heat pump and an mvhr system, and, with all other services being private, the house is virtually off-grid, minimising running costs and giving any incoming owner great peace of mind. Particular features include bespoke oak joinery, encompassing the staircase, ledged-and-braced doors and window sills, limestone and lvt flooring, antique brass hardware finishes, oak beams to the kitchen and sitting room, granite lintels, an oak-framed porch and aluminium bi-fold doors with inter-pane blinds. Externally, the property benefits from sizeable front and rear gardens and extensive parking, with the plot extending to 0.31 acres in all.

Accommodation

The house is accessed beneath an oak-framed storm porch into an entrance vestibule with built-in storage for coats and boots. From here, the undoubted focal point of the house is the superb, triple-aspect kitchen/family room encompassing both a dining area, with bi-fold doors with inter-pane blinds to the garden via a timber balcony, and a cosy snug area adjacent to the staircase.

Beyond is a dedicated, dual-aspect sitting room centred around a fireplace with timber bressummer and slate hearth, and with two Juliet balconies enjoying attractive woodland views across the garden. Also on the ground floor are a utility room with oak worktops and a Belfast sink, a built-in Bosch washing machine and separate tumble dryer, and an integrated freezer, a study/home office, and a well-appointed cloakroom. Of particular note, the kitchen is finished with quartz worktops incorporating a double Belfast sink, built-in full-height larder fridge, De Dietrich dishwasher and Rangemaster electric range cooker. On the first floor are the beautifully appointed family bathroom, fitted with both a freestanding oval bath and a large, walk-in rainfall-style shower, and the four bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and three dual-aspect. The principal and second bedrooms, in particular, enjoy superb, far-reaching views down the Lyd Valley to Bodmin Moor, with views of Dartmoor available to the east.
